Pharmacology

The water decoction of the European linden flower has a good inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Phlebsiella niger, and Bacillus subtilis.

Taking rats as the object, the changes of cortical thickness after ultraviolet irradiation were studied and compared with the blank test. The thickness of the cortex coated with 50% alcohol extract of linden flower was reduced by 4.7%.

Apply linden flower water extract on the skin, and then measure the water content of the stratum corneum by conductivity method. The conductivity of the 5 mg/mL extract after application for 5 minutes is 85 μS, while the conductivity of the blank sample is 40 μS.
